    June is here and no sign of Miguel Sano anywhere. Any updates on what he is doing or where he is doing it?
  2. Doctor Wu
    I've also noticed those guys playing well, particularly Kiersey, Jr. Seems like there's not much room for him at AAA right now, but you never know when someone will get injured. But yeah, right now, he's playing very well for Wichita.
  3. Doctor Wu
    This Royce Lewis kid looks like a keeper!
  4. Doctor Wu
    Lopez had another less than stellar start, but at least he made it through the first inning this time without giving up any runs. He looked good through the first five and then it all came apart in the sixth. He seems like a very intelligent pitcher, so I hope he regains his mojo very soon.
  5. Doctor Wu
    But back to the actual hitters of the month, Kiriloff definitely deserves the honor. A relief to have him back on the team and hitting well. And Jeffers has been even hotter lately. That's been the real surprise for me this year. Maybe they can help motivate Buxton and Correa to start hitting better.

    Sanchez hit his first homer for the Padres yesterday.
  7. Doctor Wu
    Did Aaron Sanchez actually pitch well this time?
  8. Doctor Wu
    Well yeah, we lost that trade. Sigh. But looking back, I'd do it again (of course, doing it with the hope that Mahle would be healthy). We wanted an above average starting pitcher, and we didn't have to give up any of our top tier prospects to get him. It looked like a good win-win trade at the time. I liked it. But now ... not much more to add. This one stings. I wish Steer and CES all the best and hope they have long careers. Don't know what will happen to Mahle at this point, but it's doubtful we'll see him in a Twins uniform again. But hey, that's baseball. Funny game.

    Tyler White? I must have blinked and missed that one. Honestly, who was he?
  10. Doctor Wu
    Very informative article! Cardenas seems like an intriguing catching prospect, and we certainly need more of those and soon! Also pleased with how Zebby Matthews has pitched this year, and you gotta love the name!
  11. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, Wallner keeps on hitting. Sure would be nice to have his bat back in Minnesota. As you said, they need to find a way to get him in the lineup on a regular basis. If he keeps hitting like he has been lately that would be VERY helpful to an underwhelming Twins lineup.
  12. Doctor Wu
    Like most everyone here, in an ideal/healthy world, we'd have Buxton back in CF full-time. As far the DH role, I appreciate the deep dive the article did on the stats. To my eye test, Buxton has been less than stellar at DH, striking out too much and/or hitting into double plays. The second coming of Nelson Cruz he is not. All that said, I sure wish he would use his world-class speed at lot more. We've seen him running the bases, and in the past in the field. Why can't he bunt for a few hits? Or steal more bases? With speed like he has, it can be VERY disruptive to the opposing team. But hey, if he still IS having knees issues, I understand the reluctance not to go sliding into bases (albeit bigger ones this year!).
  13. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, I'm sure that Steer is very happy to be starting with the Reds this year. His stats are looking better and better this month. Don't think the Reds are thinking about sending him back to AAA at this point.
  14. Doctor Wu
    Don't know a thing about it him, but just for the name, I'd love to have a pitcher named Noble Meyer!
  15. Doctor Wu
    Meanwhile, after his amazingly hot start, Brent Rooker is sinking like a rock. According to my calculations, he is batting only .202 in May, bringing his season average down to .268. His OBP is still very good at .371, but we may have to postpone those All-Star plans unless he gets hot again.
  16. Doctor Wu
    I think the Reds are very happy with Hunter Greene. Good pick!
  17. Doctor Wu
    I agree, everything that I've read about Lewis, either pre-injury or post-injury, indicates that not only is his attitude great, but he's not a quitter. Got some fire in the belly. Seems like a throwback to the gritty players of the old days. If he can get on base and steal some bases, maybe this team will start scoring some runs again!
  18. Doctor Wu
    I sure hope you are right. I've been disappointed by Woods-Richardson's performance this year, but the slow start by Rodriguez is even more puzzling and worrying. Hope he's healthy and ready to put up some better numbers next month.
  19. Doctor Wu
    Yes, that was a VERY heads-up play by Correa to get Guerrero at first base. Would be nice to see him start hitting better, but you can't fault his work at shortstop.
  20. Doctor Wu
    It seems like all of Marco Raya's starts are very short ones, both in innings and number of pitches. What's the story with that? Is he on some of pitch limit or what?
  21. Doctor Wu
    I love the fact that the Twins were able to get on base via walks 9 times ... but of course you need to bring those runners home and that didn't happen. 13 men left of base! Pitiful.
  22. Doctor Wu
    Rodriguez has been great as a starter for the Tigers this year, and they have a few interesting pieces, but I don't think they have the depth or talent that the Twins have. But hey, as we are seeing, injuries and lackluster performances can turn things around. Our old buddy Akil Baddoo is showing signs of life since he got called up. His batting average is slowly rising, but he's drawing lots of walks and increasing his OBP too. Okay, he's not going to challenge for an All-Star spot this year, but he's showing signs of being a solid player.
  23. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, the dismal performance of SWR thus far had been very disappointing. I had high hopes that he would tear it up in AAA and earn another promotion to the show. Other than odd relief appearance earlier this season, it looks like that won't happen this year.
  24. Doctor Wu
    Could end being a "perfect storm" of events that get Lewis into the lineup and keep him there, especially if Correa ends up having to go on the IL for any length of time. But at this point, put him anywhere you can get his bat into this underperforming lineup.
  25. Doctor Wu
    Another fine report. Thanks, Seth! I loved seeing Keirsey stretch that blooper into a double. Very heads up play!
